After a punishing and testing match against Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic has to beat Hubert Hurkacz to qualify for the semi-final of the ATP Finals.
Novak Djokovic vs Hubert Hurkacz Prediction
Hubert Hurkacz enters the tournament as a replacement for Stefanos Tsitsipas, who only lasted 10 minutes of the second round of matches against Holger Rune. It was slightly unfortunate and controversial that Tsitsipas did this, it would’ve perhaps been a different story to allow Hurkacz the chance to play twice and have a chance of qualification himself, as well as reap the benefit of the appearance money of course.
However, Hurkacz will have to turn up with his ‘A’ game to get a result out of Novak Djokovic. Even against a top player who is playing their best stuff in Jannik Sinner, it was so hard for the Italian to get the better of the world #1.
The quick surface and conditions is going to help Hurkacz, who has a big serve and big forehand, and there may well be at least one tie-break in the match. However, Djokovic will have motivation to get to the final and potentially take a measure of revenge on Sinner to take the title, so he should win this one to take a step closer to that goal.
